Of the many Montessori schools with which I have been associated over the past forty years, my association with Countryside has been the most far-reaching and comprehensive. I have found in this community of children, staff and parents a special commitment to "do it right", to question present patterns, to experiment with new ones, and to judge impartially what works for the good of all concerned. Countryside is a place where a high standard of the academic side of learning is balanced with an equally high expectation of fine character development, a place where children fulfill their highest potential, and families grow in their wholeness.
